All
right
good
afternoon,
okay,
let's
get
started
here
good
afternoon,
all
right,
mayor,
council
staff
and
members
of
the
public.
I
am
glad
to
present
the
city's
fiscal
year,
2122
mid-year
presentation
report,
based
on
our
first
six
months
of
the
fiscal
year,
beginning
october,
1st
2021
through
march
31st
2022.
G
Property
tax
has
experienced
a
6.1
percent
net,
taxable
value
increase
for
the
2021-22
tax
roll,
which
is
approximately
60
percent
more
than
the
county
wide
at
3.6
percent.
This
is
attributable
to
the
1.036
assessors
applied
california,
consumer
price
index
increase
and
just
to
make
note
that
accessor
applied
cpi
will
go
back
to
2
in
fiscal
year
23.
G
I
will
provide
the
detail
of
the
sales
tax
categories
that
are
rebounding
economically
and
why
our
building
permit
activity
is
up
8.8
percent
over
prior
year
same
period.
The
activity
variance
is
based
on
the
development
changes
throughout
the
city,
so
they
can
vary
at
different
times
within
our
quarters
of
different
fiscal
years.
G
Our
transit
occupancy
tax,
known
as
tot
hotel
taxes,
increased
37.7
compared
to
prior
year
same
period,
although
the
tlt
has
increased
based
on
the
approved
ballot
this
past
november.
We
have
not
yet
seen
the
full
growth
potential
for
this
revenue
category
until
we
can
obtain
a
full
year
or
more,
keep
in
mind
that
this
is
only
based
on
comparison
of
prior
years.
G
G
Okay,
this
slide
here
represents
the
snapshot
of
the
general
fund
budget,
as
adopted
on
october
1st
2021,
and
the
current
modified
as
of
march
31st
2022,
the
reporting,
which
is
our
reporting
period,
and
it
also
provides
the
fiscal
year
22
projected
year-end
estimate
for
budget
based
on
the
budget
review
that
was
performed
through
march
31st
2022,
as
adopted,
our
general
fund
revenues
were
one
one
million,
1
million.
I'm
sorry.
G
Our
general
fund
revenues
were
anticipated
to
be
1
million,
152
million
0.5
and
our
general
fund
expenditures
were
adopted
as
162.4
million.
The
city
was
projecting
a
deficit
of
9.8
million
for
the
fiscal
year,
assuming
that
all
is
that
was
budgeted
will
be
spent.
Now,
following
adoption,
additional
budget
adjustments
were
made
modifying
the
budget.
G
The
current
modified
budget
for
fiscal
year
22
at
six
month
for
our
general
fund
revenues
are
155.9
million.
General
fund
expenditures
are
178.7
million.
The
city's
modified
projected
deficit
based
on
the
current
modified
budget
is
22.8
for
the
fiscal
year.
The
modified
budget
includes
city
council,
additional
approved
items
and
carryover
items
mostly
for
operations
related
to
contracts
and
incomplete
projects.
G
G
That
was
the
initial
thought
now
thereafter,
we
have
now
done
another
assessment
of
where
we
are
at
our
six
month
and
based
on
that
assessment.
The
year
in
estimate
now
for
our
projected
revenues
is
at
158
million.
General
fund
expenditures
are
at
160.7
million,
thus
resulting
in
a
new
projected
year
in
deficit
of
approximately
2
million
rounded.
G
G
In
addition
to
our
yearn
estimate,
we
are
going
to
also
go
back
and
review
our
current
obligations
for
our
carryovers
to
make
a
few
more
adjustments
in
respect
of
reducing
some
of
the
obligations
on
a
budget
basis
until
the
work
is
to
be
identified
and
or
complete.
And
then
payment
can
be
made
at
such
time.
C
C
C
Absolutely
absolutely,
and
so
we're
budgeting
the
full
amount
in
a
fiscal
year
when
we
never
expect
it
to
be
done
in
the
fiscal
year
anyway.
And
so
what
my
recommendation
is
going
to
be
to
the
council?
Is
that
basically
we're
going
to
look
very
hard?
And
we
have
done
that
already
at
these
contracts?
C
C
So
my
recommendation
is
going
to
be
that
we
give
authorization
to
the
city
manager
to
encumber
500
000
at
a
time
for
a
contract
out
of
general
fund
reserves
to
prevent
that
doomsday
scenario
from
happening
and
that
he
will
have
to
report
back
to
the
council
within
two
weeks.
For
the
council's
approval.
F
F
C
F
And
I'm
right
there
with
you
that
that
really,
you
know
we're
we're
we're,
there's
a
lot
of
folks.
That
would
take
this
and
misconstrue
what
we're
doing
here
when,
in
fact,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
we're
actually
being
extremely
responsible,
saying,
hey
we
might
get
to
that
this
year.
We
are
hoping
to
get
to
that
this
year,
but
now
that
we
see
that
you
know
we,
we
want
to
be
very
clear
as
to
where
we
are
and
set
a
more
clear
snapshot.
F
What
the
mayor
is
saying
is
he's
saying:
hey,
let's
do
away
with
those
maybes.
Let's
start
talking
about
what
we're
doing
and
just
so
that
we
don't
slow
anything
down.
I
believe
he
made
a
motion
to
say
authority
to
the
city
manager
for
a
specific
amount
to
say,
hey
and
just
so
we
don't
slow
anything
down
if
it.
If
we
do
get
to
those
things
we'll
give
this
authority.
F
C
Some
motion-
and
I
said
the
manager
be
given
authority
of
up
to
500
000
for
a
contract
that
has
already
been
signed
by
the
mayor
if
it
falls
short
of
funding
and
not
yet
funded
in
the
fiscal
year,
and
that
he
will
have
to
report
back
to
the
council
within
two
weeks
to
get
it
affirmed.
Second,
okay,
madam
city
clerk,.
C
B
C
So
here's
where
we
are
at
our
projection-
let's
also
make
this
clear
whenever
miss
buchanan,
gives
these
reports
they're.
Basically
it's
a
living
document,
and
this
is
where
it
looks
like
we
will
be
if
everything
say
the
same
now,
the
reality
is
ms
buchanan.
Everything
never
stays
the
same.
Does
it
that.
C
G
In
addition
to
even
having
our
revised
estimate
at
two
point
million
roughly
we're
also
stating
that
further
assumptions
could
result
in
higher
revenues,
thus
decreasing
or
erasing
the
deficit
and
result
and
could
result
in
a
positive
fund
balance.
This
is
just
where
we
are
at
this
time,
while
we're
still
managing
the
flow
of
the
contracts
and
the
agreements
so.
C
B
H
J
G
Okay,
so
with
that
now
we'll
go
into
our
actual
revenue
performances.
These
are
the
revenue
categories
that
make
up
the
total
of
our
general
fund.
Revenues
of
the
total
modified
general
fund
revenue
budget
amount
of
155.9
million.
The
city
has
received
94.2
million
or
60.4
percent
in
revenues
at
mid-year
compared
to
65.1
in
the
prior
year
same
period.
G
G
So
looking
at
our
meteor
general
fund
revenue
performances,
this
is
all
current
year
versus
prior
year
for
our
major
category
groups,
our
utility
users
tax
show
an
increase
of
331,
000
or
4.4
percent.
This
appears
to
be
slightly
higher
than
the
previous
year.
However,
there
is
a
decrease
in
our
uut
water
and
telephone,
but
an
increase
in
cable,
electricity
and
gas
which
is
causing
the
offset,
but
ultimately
the
increase
is
also
related
to
the
increase
in
our
development
and
additional
businesses
allowing
for
additional
electricity
and
gas
services.
G
Our
sales
tax
is
up.
3.5
million
are
38.4
percent
sales
taxes.
Sales
tax
is
experiencing
a
robust
recovery
normalizing
to
the
levels
pre-covert
and
are
higher
due
to
the
economy,
opening
up,
along
with
economic
inflation
and
heightened
activity.
Due
to
the
super
bowl.
The
specific
industry
groups
that
contributed
to
the
increase
are
autos
and
transportation
fuels
and
service
stations,
restaurants
and
hotels
and
consumer
goods.
G
Following
this
report,
which
was
april
and
the
remaining
1.4
is
due
to
higher
receipts
reported
at
the
closing
period
of
prior
year
compared
to
current
year
for
the
property
tax
portion
of
our
pass-through,
it
is
still
anticipated
that
the
property
tax
revenues
will
meet
the
anticipated
budget
by
year
end
other
local
taxes
are
up,
21.7
million
or
213.7
percent.
The
most
significant
increase
is
due
to
additional
admissions
and
parking
tax
revenues
generated
from
the
opening
of
the
new
sofi
stadium.
G
K
C
A
C
G
C
G
Now,
overall,
the
general
fund
expenditures
have
increased
majority
of
the
operating
departments,
had
an
increase
due
to
previously
vacant
positions,
being
filled,
changes
in
personnel
statuses
and
increases
in
contract
services,
the
police
and
fire
expenditures
combined
are
up
4.3
million
or
10.6
percent
more
than
the
same
period
last
year.
In
addition
to
the
overall
reasons
for
the
increase,
as
stated,
the
other
factors
are
due
to
an
increase
within
the
fire
contract
and
police
contract
services
related
to
the
sulphide
stadium.
G
G
Housing
protection
services
show
an
increase
of
323,
000
or
41.6
more
than
a
prior
year,
primarily
due
again
for
previously
vacant
positions
being
filled,
as
well
as
an
increase
in
contract
services
related
to
software
and
bilingual
services.
Assistance
for
publication
notices,
parks,
recreation
and
community
services
increased
by
420,
000
or
11.8
percent
overall
increases
due
to
previously
vacant
positions
as
well,
changes
in
statuses
of
personnel
and
their
contracts,
library,
up
252,
000
or
19.7
percent.
G
C
F
C
F
G
G
G
G
Our
proprietary
funds
for
revenues
are
down
390,
000
or
1.8
percent,
lower
collectively
for
the
same
quarter.
Last
fiscal
year
we
received
21.4
million
or
44.1
percent
of
the
budget.
Revenues
are
down
mainly
due
to
the
water
and
parking
funds
offset
by
an
increase
in
sanitation,
and
a
lot
of
that
in
relation
to
water
has
to
do
with
less
use,
as
well
as
receipts
within
that
period.
In
comparison.
G
G
G
Our
proprietary
funds
on
the
expenditure
side
are
up,
443,
000
or
2.4
percent,
collectively,
from
same
from
prior
year,
same
quarter,
we've
expended
18.9
or
37.4
of
that
budget.
This
increase
in
expenditures
is
mainly
attributed
to
the
sanitation
fund
and
a
parking
permit
signage
project
within
the
parking
fund.
G
The
next
slide
speaks
to
our
cip
budget.
The
cip
budget
includes
a
current
appropriation
of
126.1
million
of
this
amount,
a
total
of
13.7
million
or
10.9
percent
has
been
expended.
As
of
mid-year.
There
is
a
total
encumbrance
amount
for
future
commitments
of
39.1
million
or
31
percent.
Of
the
total
current
appropriation
of
the
total
appropriation
9.9
was
appropriated
to
the
general
fund.
G
C
Have
a
brief
discussion
about
the
general
fund
and
I
wanted
to
bring
mr
weinberg
to
the
podium
so
that
we
can
put
in
perspective.
You
know
the
what
the
general
fund
is
meant
to
be
used
for
and
his
historical
knowledge
of
our
general
fund
balance,
which
is
extremely
robust
compared
to
the
past,
and
so,
if
you
just
give
us
a
little
brief
resume
history
of
of
your
career
in
city
management
and
your
experience
with
inglewood.
I'd
appreciate
that.
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
members
of
council
staff.
Oh
okay,
mike's,
not
on
okay
boy.
This
is
one
of
the
few
times
in
my
life.
I've
ever
been
too
tall
for
the
mic,
so
the
general
fund
in
municipal
government,
it's
unlike
our
funds
in
our
private
lives.
In
that
it's
comprised
of
you
know,
the
municipal
budget
is
comprised
of
several
different
funds.
H
H
J
H
Get
into
taking
care
of
the
streets
and
that
sort
of
thing,
then
we
start
looking
at
things
like
that.
Our
proprietary
funds,
such
as
gas,
gasoline
taxes
and
that
sort
of
thing,
and
then
there
are
many
many
programs
that
are
funded
through
grants.
As
you
know,
things
like
cdbg
and
rsip
and
those
kinds
of
programs,
they
typically
do
not
come
from
the
general
fund.
H
H
I
had
occasionally
over
the
last
few
years
to
work
in
the
city
of
san
bernardino.
As
a
city
manager,
we
were
about
39
million
dollars
short
that
year,
as
it
relates
to
a
structurally
balanced
budget
for
the
last
two
years
here
in
the
city
of
inglewood,
we've
essentially
achieved
a
structurally
balanced
budget.
H
Okay,
so
we
have
about,
I
think,
in
excess
of
about
130
million
dollars
or
so
in
in
cips,
but
we
for
the
first
time
in
early
decades
we
said
we
have
enough
funding
that
we
should
be
able
to
spend
some
money
out
of
the
general
fund
in
cips
and
that's
where
that's
what
occurred
so
so
last
year
it
was.
There
was
about
9.8
million
dollars
in
in
cips
and
and
coincidentally,
we
were
about
9.8
million
dollars
short
starting
the
fiscal
year.
So
you
take
away
those
one
times.
C
H
Well,
yes,
you
can
do
because
your
reserves-
and
you
can
also
do
it
because
historically
very
few
cities
ever
spend
the
full
amount
of
their
appropriated
budget.
With
the
exception
of
catastrophes,
there's
almost
always
savings,
and
I
have
we
have
to
remember
that
about
80
percent
of
of
any
municipal
budget
goes
to
salaries
and
benefits
during
the
course
of
the
operating
year.
H
H
It
was
fair
to
expect
that
we
would
have
a
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
about
10
million
dollars
in
salary
savings,
and
that
alone
would
would
be
able
to
compensate
for
the
nine
plus
million
dollars
in
planned,
cips
additionally
and
miss
buchanan,
I'm
sure
and-
and
mr
apple
will
agree
with
me-
rarely
do
we
spend
100
of
our
planned
cips
so
going
into
the
budget
with
a
with
with
what
appears
to
be
a
deficit.
Each
one
of
the
last
two
years
and
9.8
million
dollars
was,
was.
H
H
F
C
So
so,
in
totality
non-liquid
and
liquid
reserves
were
somewhere
in
the
100
104
million
dollar
level.
To
put
that
in
perspective,
the
city
of
torrance,
which
is
140
000
people,
a
bigger
police
department,
the
bigger
city,
they
have
650
000
in
reserves,
whereas
we're
approaching
74
million
liquid
100
million
total.
So
what
I'm
trying
to
get
across
is
that
you
know
there.
There
are
some
people
that
looked
at
that
22
million
figure
and
they
don't
understand
it.
They
don't
understand
how
well
the
super
bowl
was
here.
C
H
Well,
that's
true,
and
the
only
other
thing
that
that
I
would
want
to
point
out
is
that,
although
it
looks
like
there's
a
still
a
remaining
two
million
dollars
in
in
this
year's
projected
22
million
dollar
deficit
that
we
have
to
make
up
we've
through
mid-year
we've,
we
we
project
that
we're
going
to
make
up
19
million
of
that.
So
it's
it's
not
really!
A
22
million
deficit.
H
H
B
C
And
it
was
a
conscious
decision
and
I'll
say
it
was
on
my
behalf
to
force
us
to
be
more
realistic
about
what
we're
going
to
actually
get
done
in
the
coming
fiscal
year.
Knowing
that
we
had
the
money
in
reserves
if
it
were
to
come
to
pass,
and
so
this
is
a
policy
change
to
basically
try
to
budget
for
the
things
that
we
believe
that
we
can
finish.
B
H
So,
typically,
what
would
happen
is
if,
if
you,
if
you
approved
a
an
agreement
like
that
for
five
million
dollars
today
over
the
course
of
the
next
two
years,
what
would
happen
is
the
finance
department.
The
purchasing
manager
would
go
ahead
and
they
would
encumber
that
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
even
though
it's
up
to
five
hundred
five.
C
E
A
H
H
H
H
C
It
allows
us
flexibility
so
that
we
don't
have
to
worry
about.
Is
the
council
dark
do
do
we
have
to
schedule
special
meeting
to
you
know
to
increase
the
the
funding
available
for
this
contract?
It's
like
a
business
would
do
it
and
he
would
just
report
back
to
the
board
of
directors
within
two
weeks.
Sure.
F
But
I
would
like
to
say
something
and
just
to
be
clear,
because
you
know-
and
we
all
know
mr
weinberg
has
been
with
us
for
many
years
forever
and
you
know
he's
been
with
us
through
some
very
tough
times
where
you
know
he.
He
alluded
to
the
fact
that
he
recently
has
noticed
that
the
last
couple
years
we
have
a
structurally
balanced
budget,
whereas
we
both
know
maybe
15
years
ago,
20
years
ago.
If
that
wasn't
the
case,
we
were
doing
things
that
probably
were
quick
fixes,
we'll
call
them
one-time
things.
F
We
were
doing
to
save
the
budget,
but
what
I
wanted
to
clarify,
because
we're
obviously
doing
this
for
the
public's
benefit.
So
I
want
to
go
one
step
further
in
this
and
that
is
to
say
that
the
first
thing
you
do
is
make
sure
just
like
in
a
home,
you
make
sure
you're
going
to
have
enough
to
run
that
home,
which
in
this
case
is
our
city,
we're
we're
making
sure,
and
that
is
the
gold
standard,
as
mr
weinberg
said
it
to
to
run
the
structural
deficit.
F
What
has
actually
appeared
to
look
like
where
we
don't
have
enough
money?
Is
that
we're
saying,
but
we're
probably
going
to
want
to
do
this
this
this,
and
this
oh
and
let's,
set
aside
that
money
and
that's
what
we're
doing
here
and
now
what
we're
saying
is
structurally
we're
fine,
which
is
what
mr
weinberg
said
just
to
clarify
correct
now,
having
anticipated
any
potential
projects
in
in
capital
improvement,
we
went
back
and
forth
on
a
lot
of
that.
F
H
Well,
there's
there!
Well,
yes,
I
mean
we
all
operate
under
the
the
same
kind
of
dynamics
that
occur
in
in
municipal
financing
and
and
municipal
accounting.
Some
cities
would
would
naturally
handle
any
carryovers
into
the
next
year
by
by
moving
the
the
positive
fund
balance
over
as
well.
We
simply
set
it
aside
as.
I
F
Thank
you
for
pointing
that
out,
because
that
even
makes
it
even
better
right
on
our
end.
But
what
I'll
tell
you
is
that
the
one
good
thing
that
it
gives
us
is
the
opportunity
to
plan
ahead
to
say:
hey
we're
going
to
do
this,
but
for
folks
who
may
be
confused
or
some
folks
may
misconstrue
the
numbers.
That's
why
it's
good
we're
clarifying
this,
because
I
know
that's
the
exercise
we're
doing
right
now.
So
thank
you
very.
I
Much
so
again,
thank
you
and
mr
buchanan
thank
you
and
all
the
folks
in
finance
our
folks,
for
you
know
putting
together
a
more
accurate
picture
of
where
we
are
as
a
city
in
our
financial
situation
right
because
folks
are
always
looking
at
that
and
folks
say:
wow
you're
getting
close
to
july,
and
because
some
folks
think
you
know
there
are
cities
that
go
july
to
july,
we're
october
to
october,
and
so
some
folks
panic
because
they
go
man.
It's
already
june.
You
haven't
done
a
a
media
report.
I
I
And
so
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody.
That's
involved!
Thank
you
for
giving
us
an
accurate
picture.
I
like
the
idea
about
shifting
over
to
the
city
manager
with
the
500
000,
so
it
doesn't
slow
any
of
our
progress,
not
at
all.
It's
actually
going
to
speed
things
up,
but
folks
again
might
misinterpret
that
and
so
we're
just
trying
to.
I
think
we're
we're
we're
trying
to
really
be
clear
that
we're
in
a
really
much
better
situation
than
we've
been
in
years
past
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
better.
I
You
know,
as
we
work
our
way
through
the
pandemic,
to
get
folks
back.
You
know
into
what
what
you
know
we
were
doing
in
the
past.
An
example
was
a
library,
a
council
member
morales
alluded
to
that
earlier,
but
it's
about
a
mindset,
a
change
in
our
mindset
on
how
we're
spending
our
money
and
how
we're
putting
funds
aside
so
that
our
city
is
is
solid.
Financially.
So,
thank
you
so.
H
No,
I
had
to
pause
because
I
I
it's
like
trying
to
is,
if
I
told
you
have
you
ever
seen
a
man
who's
tall
and
short.
At
the
same
time,
you
can
even
wrap
your
head
around
it.
I
I
can't
wrap
my
head
around.
You
know
a
city
our
size,
having
that
having
the
general
fund
reserve
that
it
has
now
based
on
where
it
was
10
years
ago
or
so
yeah.
C

Come
here
we
had
two
closed
session
items.
The
first
one
was
a
closed
session
of
lloyd,
mosley
versus
city
of
ingoid.
After
the
discussion
was
held
with
the
council,
except
for
councilman
dotson,
he
was
absent
and
there's
a
discussion
was
held
in
direction
given
to
staff
as
to
that
matter
as
to
cs2,
there
was
a
recess
and
we're
going
to
reconvene
after
this
particular
city
council
meeting
is
over.

I
Sentinel
improvement
project.
I
want
to
thank
louis
iowa
him
and
his
staff
we
went
out.
I
was
the
last
friday
I
met
with
some
of
the
business
owners.
They
had
some
concerns
regarding
the
traffic
flow
and
and
the
project
itself,
so
I
gave
lewis
a
call.
He
came
out
with
his
staff
and
we
were
able
to
to
meet
with
our
our
business
owners
and
discussers
concerns,
as
you
can
see
in
the
picture,
as
of
today,
they're
actually
doing
the
formatting
of
the
center
medians
and
again
just
be
patient.
This
is
a
work
in
progress.
I
Remember
it's
one
phase.
As
we
talked
about
earlier,
it's
a
capital
improvement
project.
It's
it's
a
project,
that's
going
to
go
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
You
know
so
we're
going
to
finish
this
part
of
it
or
most
of
it,
and
move
on
to
east
of
la
brea
again
on
setonella
again.
So
thank
you,
lewis.
Thank

to
your

particularly
myself.
I'm
planning
on

So
that
is
all
I

mayor.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
I'd
just
like
to
take
the
time
first,
real,
quick
to
congratulate
inglewood
little
leagues
in
the
tournament
of
champions.
They've
won.
Four:
our
teams
have
won
four
out
of,
I
think
five
games.
As
of
the
last
two
days.
They
play
teams
from
everywhere
from
plaza
del
rey,
westchester,
hawthorne
lawndale,
so
we're
doing
pretty
good.
I
want
to
give
them
some
some
kudos
as
well.
I
want
to
thank
our
director
who's.
F
I
believe
he's
here,
mr
brian
walker,
for
the
event
he
held
in
district
three,
the
other
day
in
regards
to
our
fire
alarm
placement
for
homes.
I
believe
there
was
80
homes.
Mr
walker,
am
I
right
around
80
that
var
volunteers
went
in
and
actually
assembled
them.
I
was
getting
texts
actually
all
day
from
folks
that
were
getting
it
and
and
it's
just
a
really
cool
event,
got
reintroduced
to
american
red
cross.
F
You
really
stop
to
start
to
understand
the
many
things
that
the
red
cross
does,
but,
more
importantly,
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
appreciate
what
we
have
here,
which
is
our
emergency
services
department,
and
I
remember
actually
telling
the
mayor.
I
don't
know
why
we're
doing
this
back
in
maybe
five
years
ago,
but
I've
told
brian.
F
Equally
man
I
mean
we've
just
been
forced
so
fortunate
that
we
have
that
office
and
that
department
got
us
through
covet
got
us
through
so
much,
and
this
is
just
one
example
of
what
he
does
here.
So
I
appreciate
mr
walker
and
his
department,
and
let's
see
that
is
it
oh.
I
forgot
to
mention
miss
barnes,
who
I
called
at
the
last
minute.
She
sent
out
staff
to
get
the
park
ready
for
all
the
visitors
we
were
having
from
other
cities.
So
thank
you
as
well.
So
that's
all
I
got
there.
Okay.
C
C
C
C
He
left
there
we
needed
to
stand
up
this
unit
and
he
has
done
such
a
fantastic
job,
and
I
want
to
just
want
to
tell
you
brian.
We
were
really
grateful
to
have
you
the
things
that
you
and
crystal
and
and
emory
a
security
person
have
done,
have
really
added
to
the
profile
and
the
safety
in
the
city.
So
we
thank
you
very
much
yeah.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
want
to
thank
mr,
we
fields,
ms
buchanan
and
miss
kwaki
and
assistant
city
manager,
mark
weinberg
city
manager,
emeritus
for
the
good
work
that
you've
done
with
the
budget,
and
I
think
this
meeting
was
the
best
explanation
has
ever
been
as
to
how
the
budget
works
and
what
the
numbers
mean
and
don't
mean.
So.
Thank
you
very
much
with
that
we're
going
to
adjourn
and
return
to
closed
session.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
